THOR - EPs

[Fire Down Under]

Anyone of you seen there obscvre-as-fvkk THOR items such as "Gladiator", "Striking Viking" or "Muscle Rock"? Very mysterious that there's actually none or very little info out there, neither about the covers nor tracklistings nor.......

Some of the greatest Metal-collector mysteries for sure.. My best bet is that Mr. Thor merely refered to these recordings as "EPs" when they were in fact tape demos. At best we're talking about test-pressings/acetates here, but that's pushing it..

there were a bunch of 70ies Thor 7"es on ebay a year or two ago but I dont remember the titles. I recall there was something with Gladiator but maybe I'm halucinating

I want to remember seeing Striking Viking on auction about 3 years ago... But it had pretty much no description and no pictures so I never bothered bidding on it.

Could have been the real thing but I think it was most likely a scam to earn money of hardcore Thor collectors.

Why not trying to contact Frank Soda(former guitar player of Thor and the Imps),except Thor, who else might know more ?

Note that in his biography/discography he does not mention any official recordings with Thor(he only generally speaks of touring and recording,maybe he refers to some demos?),it is not surprising seeing that he is generous with details on the rest of his career and releases?

could this be the reason why these items were deleted on metal-archives?
